Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was carried out at Hampton Court Palace, the work was undertaken as part of the ongoing project to upgrade the electrical ring main of the palace. The objectives of the excavation were to archaeologically excavate the trench for the first phase of new electrical cables and to fully record all archaeological remains encountered. Further, the excavation sought to minimise the impact of the cable installation on the archaeological fabric and to preserve structural remains in situ wherever possible. Following the completion of all five phases of the ring main project, the results will be published as a whole. The project gives an unprecedented insight across much of the palace. Evidence of a Late Medieval or Early Post Medieval hearth structure was found, this hearth was on a distinctly different alignment to the upstanding walls of the palace, and is thought to likely date to Giles Daubeney’s occupation of the site.
Beneath the Great Hall the excavation identified the foundations of the earlier Great Hall built by Giles Daubeney, and these correspond with foundations found during excavations in the 1970s.
In Tennis Court Lane to the north of the palace part of Henry VIII’s Bowling Alley has been observed during the excavation. |
